[QUOTE="Kiyot, post: 487089, member: 627"] That offensive weapon part is a bunch of crap. I know alot of people who walk around carry a large stick and it wouldn't be a stretch at all to label that as an offensive weapon. I would carry that or an Asp if I went out walking just to DEFEND myself from dogs or whatever else I may need one. I guess I find it ridiculous it's okay to carry a gun, but can't carry a less than lethal alternative, not that it would be used against another person, but more likeyl against a dog. I can see alot of implications on using a less than lethal device on another person, but even then I should be allowed. Not to start a them vs us kinda thing, but I know officers can and do carry batons, but would you be able to carry brass knuckles, blackjack or billy club? I know that most departments have regulations against it, but if there wasn't one would you legally be able to carry one? I guess I find it offputting that an officer would be carrying something labeled as an "offensive" weapon vs a defensive weapon. Understand I'm not bashing one bit, I see the baton as a compliance tool and strictly defensive, but as any weapon can be defensive it can be used offensively in the wrong person's hands. Another thing I wonder about is I know that some of the animal control officers for OKC carry them or they used to anyways. I don't know if they are CLEET or not. And again they are one of those people that I don't blame one bit for carrying them. Heh one of reasons that was explained to me and that was for ostriches, guess they like to knock you down and kick the crap outta ya. [/QUOTE]
